'Charulatha' - Review



Actress Priyamani playing a special character in her career as 'conjoint twins' in the film 'Charulatha' which released 21/09/2012. The film directed by Ponkumaran and its stars Skanda, Saranya Ponvannan, Seetha, Sai Sasi performing the other main roles. 'Chaarulatha' received mostly Average opinions.

Story
Charu and Latha, is twins conjoined at stomach. Like their bodies their mind is also conjoined. Charu falls in love with a boy. For this reason they decided to be separated but unfortunately one of them dies. Evil soul of the dead follows the other. See what happens in the rest. 

'Charulatha' is an adapted film from the Thai Horror film 'Alone', story is good and the sequences could have been make better and somewhere has mix-ups, Specially its climax. Albeit the film keeps the good suspense, it lacks the thrills.

Priyamani does the dual characters 'Chaaru' and 'Latha' and equally did a good job. Especially her final act is superb. other characters of Skanda, Saranya Ponvannan, Seetha are fair.

Ponkumaran has made this with little changes from 'Alone' and I have doubt that did he success in his making style? because its CGI works and treatment, poor but the suspense is unpredictable. Paneerselvam has taken the superb scary visuals for this film and Editing of Donmax is commendable. Sundar.C.Babu's Bg scores have nothing special but the 'title song' is good. 
Overall, 'Charulatha' frightens and thrills u in a little part.

Grade:  'Charulatha' is Average
Rating:  2.70/5
